Questions and Comments for Frequency domain view of the relationship between a signal and a sampling of that signal

A slecture by ECE student Botao Chen

Partly based on the ECE438 Fall 2014 lecture material of Prof. Mireille Boutin.

  • Review by Miguel Castellanos

You have a great organization of your derivations and examples. Your first derivation helps ease the transition between continuous sampled signals and discrete sampled signals. The figures are good graphical represenations of the expressions you derive. A small source of confusion is that your final figure plots a function in terms of ω but your x-axis is in terms of f. Great job, overall!

  • You gave very good explanation of difference between FT of original signal x(t), sampled signal  xs(t) and discrete signal xd[n]. Graphs in frequency domain  help to understand this difference. You did a really good job !

The mathematical derivations are great! The plots work and help illustrate the difference. The last plot needs to be labeled with $ \omega $ on the x-axis instead of $ f $, so that was a little confusing. But other than that, good job!
